THE IDAHO NORTHERN RAILWAY.

orssonian. Nay lsth.l
While in Denver recently, says the
Republican Of that city, President
Adams, Of tho Union Pacific Com
pany, indicated that he had decided
to act favorably upon the request of
capitalists of Idaho Territory for the
construction, jointly with them, of the
Idaho Northern road. It will be run
in connection with the Union Pacific,
says Mr.. Adams, and as q factor in
tho development Of Idaho will be very
powerful.
The appointment of Gardner M.
Love, . Union Pacific official, to the
position Of general manager Of the
new road, was yesterday confirmed by
Mr.. Adams. The new line will be
FIRST operated between Nampa and
Boise City. Mr.. Adams explained
that the Union Pacific in passing
through the Territory does not touch
within several hundred miles OF Boise
City: Her connection, therefore, with
the Union Pacific railroad is by stage.
BY the construction of the Idaho rail
road, or that portion of it from Nampa
to Boise, this difficulty is overcome.
The direction of the new line is TO-
ward the Bitter Root mountains,
touching at Idaho City, and opening
up the the mineral fields ln the Dead.
wood country, It was in reference
to furnishing railroad supplies from
Denver that Mr.. Adams made his visit
to that city. Work on the new road
will be begun immediately.

What a Boom is.

The Lyons Republican has given
some good pointers to fellow from
the old country who made a flying visit
through Kansas recently in search of a
''boom" and reported that he could
not find 'blasted one:"
Statisticians tell us that during the
past winter and spring home-seekers
come into Kansas at the rate of 5000
per day. That is one of the symptoms
of boom.
There is more building going on
this year in nineteen out of twenty
Kansas towns than ever before in their
history. That is one of the symptoms
of a boom.
There is more capital from outside
being brought into Kansas and in
vested than ever before.
Kansas has 5000 miles of railroad
with 900 more in construction.
Kansas has 1920 organized school
districts, 1000 school houses with
1887 teachers.
Kansas has had 25O, 900 new farms

The Correct Idea.

The Kansas Farmer is on the right
track. in giving encouragement to the
idea of home manufactures. Every
scheme that will operate to keep Kan
sas money at home should receive the
hearty endorsement of all loyal citi-
zens. Manufactures will more nearly
accomplish this than anything else.
They are Kansas need and will prove
Kansas salvation. The F'Grme en- says:
Kansas will never reach her highest
development until the wool raised by
her farmers who produce it, and all her
farmers who produce it, and all her
surplus live stock is slaughtered within
her own borders and until everything
in the line of what is called raw mater
ial which Kansas people produce is
worked up at home. Such a state of
things can be brought about only by
the establishment of manufactures
among our people. The passage of the
Interstate commerce law will help us
i'll this respect. 1t will prevent furth-
Cl OCelCO VI
any part of it. The principle of the
law is justice to all patrons and to all
parts of the country. There are open
ings III Kansas now for manufactures
in great variety. We number not much
short Of two millions of people, and are
moving along in all the ways of pro-
gress, but our manufacturing interests
are away behind our needs. Kansas
offers good opportunities in this direc-
ton. 1t is doubtful whether there is
better opening anywhere i'll the coun-
try than is here for investments of the
character above suggested. This ap-
plies especially to the department of
wool, cotton, leather and wood and iron
in combination.-Leav Times.

EXCHANGE GLEANINGS.

The noted stone quarries of Cow

are now worth $4,000.

1 600 miles of road in Missouri, Kan

Lee w. Arnold went up to Great

The latest postal laws are such
that newspaper publishers can arrest
anyone for fraud who takes paper
and refuses to pay for it. Under this
law the man who allows his sub
scription to run along for some time
unpaid, then orders it discontinued
or orders the postmaster to mark it
refused" and have postal card sent
notifying the publisher, lays himself
liable to arrest and fine the same as
for theft.
England is often thougbt5f as a
country of dense population with
hardly any room for increasing either
in the cities or out of them. The
shipment of paupers to this country
encourages this idea. And yet mo-
ton has recently been made in Parlia-
ment to give power to local authorities
to take in hand the vast quantities of
land in England which are at present
passing out of cultivation. The fact
is, England would have room enough
to give all her people a fair chance
in life if the land was not monopo-
lized by the hereditary statesmen"
Perhaps the time is not far distant
when England will find it to her ad-
vantage 10 release the land to those
who will use it for something else be-
sides pleasure parks and hunting
grounds.

1T PAYS TO BE CHEERFUL.

1t is peculiar what different views
people take of the every day events of
life. While talking with one man yes
terday, a gentleman who has been i'll
business here for number of years, he
volunteered the information that
the shortage in crops this year had cut
down his trade, that he was not max
ing living in his business, and thought
of going to California. This man very
seldom advertises and puts no money
into any public enterprise, and as IA
matter of fact has made every cent he
now has right here in Barton county,
and during the years which were a
great deal nearer failures as regards
crops than is 1887. 1t was our good for

opened up within the past tree wears.
Kansas has 1900, 900 cattle grazing
on her prairies, 2 800, 900 hogs. 500 600
horses and mules, and I.5OO 900 peo,
pie.
Kansas has 1000 manufacturing es-
tablishment, $4,000 churches, 800 900
miles of telegraph, SIPS, ,OOO, 900 of
farm products during the past year.
And Kansas is a new state. HAVING
just passed the first quarter centurY
milestone of her existence. Is therd
no evidence of boom here? Can anyl
one but blind man fail to see some
thing significant in these figures? And
these, let it be remembered, are not
the figures of real estate men or of the
newspapers, as the writer, from whom
we quote, sneeringly says, but are the
official figures of the state and anyone
can easily verify our transcript of
them, or prove them to be false. The
record will not be as good this year, to
be sure, as far as wheat and corn ars
concerned; but it is for causes which
touch other states even more heavily
than Kansas, and which may not
touch Kansas again in a dozen years.
Altogether Kansans are very well sat-
lsfied with Kansas and write all ''back
east" to come share it with them.

The Prairie Farmer gives the fol-
lowing as treatment for horses cut
with barb wire: keep the animal in
doors, preferable in a roomy box stall
or shed where he can go loose. The
wound should be cleansed several times
daily with soft sponge and warm wat
er, but no soap, and after cleansing
apply with soft feather to crevices
and the surface of the wound, a sufic-
lency OF mixture of say four ounces
each of tincture of myrrh, and tincture
of aloeS and one drahm of carbolic
acid. When taken in hand just after
the accident has occurred, cold water
should be applied continually until the
pleading ceases, and without touching
rubbing the wound. Thereafter rag
g Wedges and shreds of tissue should be
clipped off and the hairs should be cut
short close to the wound, and all
around it. Stitching and sbandaging
rarely necessary, but if necessary, it
should be done by physician i'll the
absence of good veterinarian. Per-
feet rest at all times is essential as
well as grain and feeding.''

OF public notices of anything, which
notice Will accrue to the profit of the
person or thing noticed, than is a gro
Ger expected to give away sugar with
out pay, or a lawyer council or aid in
court by his services, without remuner-
alton. A man who buys suit of
clothes from a clothier does not expect
the clothier to give him good hat be-
cause he gave an order for a suit of
clothes. He pays for the clothes and
that Is all he has to demand. To ask
newspaper for gratuitous notice for
any pecuniary enterprise just because
the asker takes the paper is no more
JuStltable than to ask shoemaker to
make him pair of slippers free be-
cause he has bought of him a pair Of
boots.
A newspaper in this day is very
much what the public wishes it to be.
1t is the more valuable to the public
the more it is patroniZed. If its opin-
ions are such as to drive away sub
scribers, it cannot live. But opinions
in this day have but little to do with
the success of a paper. Especially is
this true so far as politics is concerned.
Every true man likes to see a paper
consistent. He cares less about wheth-
er the opinions of the paper agree with
his own, and more, that the paper is
honest and consistent, and is a correct
epitome of the news of the day. Pol
itics and even religious views in this
day of intelligence have but little
weight i'll business or with business
men. The one who has advertising to
do wants to reach the people. If he is
a Democrat, he does not care whether
the man who buys yard of calico, OF
town lot, or farm, or pound of
sugar, is a Republican OF Baptist or
believer in Homeopathy; and the
rule applies to his business transac-
tiOns in all lines if he is governed by
good business shrewdness and good
practical sense. Business is business.
The successful business man in any
line i'll these days is the one who adver-
tises most literally. The successful
town in this day Of booming towns is
the one which gives the most liberal
support to its newspapers.-Qui N,,1c.

Newspapers.

\ newspaper is like every other busi-
ness enterprise. 1t is perhaps pub
lie enterprise for the public good, but
to those whose interest it is to sup
port it, should not be looked upon in
any other light than grocery or a dry
goods establishment any other business
establishment for the public benefit by
private individuals, who so establish
the business that it may pay its propri-
etors profit on their Investment, SO
they can pursue it and make a living
and prosper. The grocer and hard
ware merchant, the lawyer, make their
living by selling their wares or their
practice, not by giving them away.
The newspaper is no more public
charity than any other legitimate busi-
ness. The newspaper should no more
be expected to give away advertising,

Prof. Shelton, writing in the Man
haitian Nationalist, Says: 1--WE wish
right here to remark that there has not
been fall for three years, at least, so
altogether favorable for the wheat
plant as the present. The ground is
ftfS of water, which means death to
th3 abominable chinch bug, and much
damage to the Hessian fly where it
ahfunds; it also insures a strong fall
g1fwth of young plants which will en-
aide them, almost certainly, to pass the
winter without the 'winter-killing, :"
which has done so much damage in the
last two Or three dry years. Moreover,
tie drOuth has given to most lands
fallow, Or~'rest," whereby fertility has
been accumulated in them enormously.
and weeds checked or destroyed OF
course what has, in many parts of the
state, been a poor crop for two years
past, by reason of winter-killing; but
these same ruined wheat fields were in
the best possible condition for oats OF
corn the following spring, so that not
much more than the seed wheat was
lost. Let it be remembered, however,
that when Kansas farmer gets
I heat crop, it comes easier and costs
Tess than a wheat crop grown in almost
any other spot on the globe"

Bit by a Mad Dog.

Saturday morning G. w. Dotten,
of Alden, Kan. arrived in town, ac-
companied by his 1O-year-old son,
who was bitten by a mad dog above
the right eye about o'clock the even
ing before. The object of their visit
here was to try the effect of mad.
stone in:possession of N. r. Holmes
with the hope Of neutralizing the eff
feet of the bite. The stone was at
once applied and adhered for 25 min
utes. A second and third applications
were made, the stone adhering the
last time fully an hour and quarter:
During these applications and re-
mOval of the stone large amount
of poisonous matter, green in color,
exuded which left the flesh natural
color. The poison having apparently
all been withdrawn, further exper-
iment was deemed unnecessary, and
Mr.. Dotten left for home on the even
ing train well satisfied with the result.
The mad stone in possession of Mr..
Holmes is celebrated far and near
for its efficacy in cases of this kind,
and people everywhere in this section
of country come Immediately to him
when rabies are suspected.
